[08:06] <Burgundavia> ok, will do
[08:06] <boredandblogging> ok, I'm  going to start posting some links of press coverage, broken down into sections
[08:06] <jenda> Burgundavia: beuno, somerville32 and the other forums mods can do the same, btw
[08:06] <Burgundavia> ok
[08:45] <jenda> Folks, read and reply: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=243
[08:55] <boredandblogging> jenda, lol, gutsy got fixed on the wiki, maybe we should edit the post as people fix the wiki?
[08:55] <jenda> maybe ;)
[08:56] <boredandblogging> i wouldn't mind put in the new fixes, but I don't think I can edit other peoples posts
[08:56] <boredandblogging> s/put/putting
[08:56] <jenda> nope, you can't...
[08:56] <jenda> ...but...
[08:56] <jenda> ...we might be able to do something about that.
[08:56] <jenda> I'll have to discuss with beuno and somerville32 ;)

[10:58] <jenda> morn
[11:02] <jenda> Burgundavia: I have an excuse from beuno :) He's seriously ill or something to the effect.
[11:02] <Burgundavia> hmm
[11:02] <jenda> I gave him a choice of canned excuses, and he chose that one.
[11:02] <jenda> He said he'd get to it tomorrow, unless someone did it before him.
[11:02] <jenda> It's 6 AM in his timezone or something, innit?
[11:03] <jenda> Speaking of which, you really should go to bed, Burgundavia ;)
[11:03] <Burgundavia> yes, yes it is
[11:03] <Burgundavia> and 2am here
[11:04] <jenda> You moved west?
[11:04] <jenda> then again, I have bad impressions all the time...
[11:05] <Burgundavia> nah, I have been in BC all the time
[11:05] <Burgundavia> tonyyarouso is from ontario
[11:08] <jenda> cool
[12:20] <tsmithe> rargh http://www.spreadubuntu.co.uk/resources
[12:20] <tsmithe> needs diy collaboration
[12:21] <jenda> O_O
[12:22] <jenda> tsmithe: do you know who runs it?
[12:23] <tsmithe> yes! he keeps posting to ubuntu-uk
[12:23] <tsmithe> i told him to collaborate
[12:23] <tsmithe> and that diy existed
[12:23] <tsmithe> but he's having none of it
[12:23] <jenda> gargh
[12:23] <jenda> I _hate_ when they do that.
[12:23] <tsmithe> same
[12:23] <tsmithe> i'll tell him again

[12:31] <jenda> Heh, they link to my price list...
[12:31] <jenda> funky
[12:31] <jenda> tsmithe: would you happen to have some sort of IM handle for the guy?
[12:32] <tsmithe> i wouldn't, no
[12:37] <jenda> Could you get one for me? :)
[12:37] <jenda> or drag him on IRC...
[12:37] <jenda> I'll write him a mail.
[12:46] <jenda> tsmithe: Cc'd
[12:46] <tsmithe> cool
[12:46] <jenda> or, Bcc'd, to be exact.
[12:54] <tsmithe> excellent :)
[12:54] <tsmithe> and it was a CC actually
[01:12] <jenda> yes, it was, but he didn't know ;)

[03:47] <jenda> Vorian: order them, then :) $20 isn't all that much!
[03:47] <jenda> :)

[05:12] <jenda> I measure distance in $s, s or beers.
[05:12] <nixternal> haha
[05:12] <nixternal> I don't drink anymore, so the beers won't work
[05:13] <jenda> I don't drink either.
[05:13] <jenda> Beers aren't considered drinking, though.
[05:13] <jenda> BTW, Ubuntu is better than beer: http://www.google.com/trends?q=ubuntu%2C+beer&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all
[05:15] <MenZa> So... we'll start saying "Free as in Ubuntu" now?
[05:20] <jenda> yep
[05:20] <jenda> :)
[05:20] <jenda> but it's just as ambiguous as if you just said 'free'
[05:22] <jenda> This one is even better: http://www.google.com/trends?q=boobs%2C+beer%2C+ubuntu&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all
[05:24] <poningru> HAH

[10:43] <adamant1988> Would you mind taking a look?
[10:45] <adamant1988> There have been a couple people who have expressed interest in working with me on this, but a lot of legwork needs to be done... lots of conversations need to be had.
[10:51] <jenda> adamant1988: sorry, i can't really pay it the attention right now :/
[10:51] <jenda> it's late and I'm already multi-tasking
[10:51] <adamant1988> jenda: understandable. Haha. Welcome to my life. (I've got major ADD)
[10:52] <jenda> I'm quite sure I'd get that on a stamped paper if I asked for it, but meh ;)
[10:52] <jenda> (I mean, for myself, not for you :D
[10:52] <jenda> )
[10:56] <adamant1988> jenda: stamped paper? 
[10:56] <jenda> as in, get diagnosed
[10:56] <adamant1988> Oh, diagnosis.
[10:56] <adamant1988> Yeah, I have that
[10:57] <adamant1988> I don't medicate though, I don't like the drugs
[11:32] <beuno> Burgundavia: hi
[11:34] <beuno> jenda: sorry about last night
[11:34] <beuno> it was 6am, and I wasn't "alone"  :p
[11:34] <beuno> boredandblogging: around?
[11:34] <jenda> hehehe :)
[11:35] <beuno> so... what's up with UWN?
[11:37] <beuno> ah, it needs a lot of work..
[11:37] <beuno> I've got an installfest coming up next weekend
[11:38] <beuno> so tha't why I haven't been around that much
[11:38] <beuno> its the "Flisol", Festival Latinoamericano de Software Libre
[11:38] <beuno> and ubuntu is the chosen distro
[11:39] <beuno> so I'm coordinating a lot of stuff
[11:39] <beuno> so I'll have even less time next week
[11:41] <jenda> beuno: good luck with that ;)
[11:43] <beuno> jenda, thanks it's my first "event", and I think the ppl who organize it have put a little too much faith in me, but we'll see  :D
[11:43] <beuno> at least I got Ubuntu to be the official distro
[11:43] <beuno> and I'm taking my ubuntu and xubuntu stickers with me  :D
[11:43] <jenda> interesting... ;)
[11:43] <jenda> sweet :)
[11:44] <beuno> I'll make sure to take a lot of pictures and gather information
[11:44] <beuno> I mught add something about it to the UWN too, I don't know yet
[11:44] <beuno> *might
[11:45] <jenda> you should
[11:45] <jenda> at leaste as a loco event.
[11:45] <beuno> aaargh, I have to eat something, i haven't had lunch yet and it's almost 7pm
[11:45] <beuno> I'll add it and go get something to eat  :D
[11:46] <jenda> I have to sleep, otoh.
[11:46] <jenda> good night :)
[11:47] <boredandblogging> hi beuno 
[11:47] <vor> k-lg-mjjjr
[11:47] <beuno> hey boredandblogging, how's it going?
[11:47] <boredandblogging> not much
[11:48] <boredandblogging> think Burgundavia was going to write something about the feisty press coverage for the UWN
[11:48] <boredandblogging> I'm about to put the bug stats in 
[11:49] <beuno> great
[11:49] <beuno> I've got little time right now
[11:49] <beuno> so Im going to grab some lunch
[11:49] <beuno> and then I'll try to squeeze in some time
[11:49] <boredandblogging> ok
[11:49] <beuno> I'll be here for sure in about 4 or 5 hours to get it released
[11:50] <beuno> bbl
[11:51] <Burgundavia> hey beuno
[11:51] <beuno> hey Burgundavia
[11:52] <beuno> just when I'm about to leave...  :p
[11:52] <beuno> sorry about the delay with the UWN
[11:52] <beuno> I explained a bit above 
[11:52] <Burgundavia> no worries
[11:52] <beuno> I've still got some things to do today, but I'll be here later to finish up whatever is left
[11:54] <Burgundavia> I am going to be out for a bit, but will work on later tonight
[11:54] <beuno> translations seemed to be working pretty well lately, don't they?
[11:54] <beuno> Burgundavia: great, that will make two of us then
[11:54] <Burgundavia> yep, they seem to
[11:57] <randomwalker> someone told me yesterday that "ubuntu gets far more coverage in the mainstream press than any other distro"
[11:57] <randomwalker> how do you measure that?
[11:57] <randomwalker> right now fedora has more hits on google news than ubuntu
[11:57] <Burgundavia> subjectively
[11:57] <randomwalker> and this is right after a ubuntu release
[11:57] <Burgundavia> randomwalker: fedora also maybe getting hits for non-linux stuff
[11:57] <Burgundavia> http://www.google.com/trends?q=ubuntu%2Cdebian%2Cfedora
[11:57] <randomwalker> Burgundavia: it's been a while since hats have been in the news :)
[11:58] <randomwalker> Burgundavia: hey that's pretty cool
[11:58] <Burgundavia> ie: we are destroying them :)
[11:59] <Burgundavia> http://www.google.com/trends?q=ubuntu%2Cdebian%2Cfedora%2Cnovell%2Csuse&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all
[11:59] <randomwalker> firefox had a team for contacting reporters to correct errors and misconceptions in news articles
[11:59] <randomwalker> if ubuntu has one i'd like to be part of that
[11:59] <Burgundavia> generally we do that
[12:00] <Burgundavia> if you see something, send a polite note
[12:00] <randomwalker> ok
[12:02] <Burgundavia> http://distrowatch.com/index.php?dataspan=1
[12:02] <Burgundavia> wow
[12:03] <randomwalker> yeah, i saw that yesterday
[12:03] <randomwalker> i'm not sure if last 7 days is representative -- pclinuxos is in second place and i don't even know what that is
[12:05] <Burgundavia> 7 day is representative of the last 7 days
[12:05] <randomwalker> ok
[12:05] <Burgundavia> it tends to be very variable, based on teh current release
[12:05] <Burgundavia> 6 month is a better indicator
[12:06] <Burgundavia> but 5k is a insanely high
[12:08] <randomwalker> thats true
